--"neuropathic pain"--the kind that comes from damage to nerves themselves that then send out erroneous signals that the brain has trouble interpreting (hence the reports of "burning", "electrical jolts", "dysesthetic tingling", "weird temperature sensations", "feelings of touch when nothing is there", etc.)--tend to be different from those of nociceptive pain, which is the more "usual" kind that comes from nerves accurately reporting damage to other tissues.

Not to say that one can't have both, and both severely, but neuropathic pain tends to be be of a different quality than nociceptive pain, to the extent that if one has experienced both it's not easy to confuse them.
